Blackworm Breeder Box Method

This is a great opportunity to see what is happening with the system since in the food trail we are seeing the same activity in the worms.

I have used a similar technique in other cultures and it has worked 100% of the time over the years.

We focus on what to feed but seem to forget that they are eating the substrate that they are living in as well. We are not dealing with an inert substance. We are dealing with living organisms. That must be added into the equation or we will not get the correct answer.

✅ Both fish racks now have automatic water-fill systems!

Blackworm experiments continue!

This time I am asking workshop participants for your help in the next experiment.

Of course you at home can also participate in discovering what is the best way to get blackworms to settle with easy blackworm removal in mind.

Anyone that has ever used regular gravel knows it’s not that easy to get blackworms out so let’s try to change that and discover a better way.
